Pollution concerns coincide with new Bristol transport and roadwork proposals

Bristol 24/7 reported that the fall in pollution that followed the Clean Air Zone has started to reverse [3]. The same outlet said political parties are blaming one another for rising levels [1]. Bristol 24/7 reported that the city could get a new bus service and a one-hour ticket [2], and that the Kidical Mass event returned to call for safer cycling [4]. The Business Desk separately reported that M5 closures are planned while a power cable is laid for the Agratas battery plant [5]. Together, the reports place renewed scrutiny on Bristol's air quality at a time when bus, cycling and motorway changes are also on the local agenda [3][1][2][4][5].
